Suzaka Kura no Machi (Warehouse Townscape)

須坂・蔵の町並み

Nagano · Chubu

A historic streetscape in central Suzaka City lined with white-walled Edo-period merchant warehouses, built on wealth from the Hori-clan castle town and later Meiji-era silk industry; the Tanaka Honke Museum is its centerpiece.

Why it's hidden

A real, still-inhabited historic streetscape a short hop from Nagano and Obuse that draws far fewer visitors despite comparable architectural interest.
